Chapter 125 Bringing up the sore spot
Wang Xinran is very satisfied with her current life and will absolutely not allow anyone to disrupt it.
Mrs. Huo found it unbelievable. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Xinran, is this what you originally thought? But I don't believe it. You clearly said before that you looked down on Li Chao."
Wang Xinran's eyes widened, her face extremely ugly: "Alright, stop talking nonsense. I'm not that familiar with you, so don't spread rumors here."
She started to shoo away Huo's mother: "You should leave here. You are not welcome here."
Huo's mother: "..."
She eventually left, after all, this place didn't welcome her at all, and there was nothing she could do about it.
She just hadn't expected Wang Xinran to have this kind of attitude.
Is this person really the daughter she knows?
When she returned looking disheveled, a neighbor came out and asked curiously, "Aunt Huo, why are you back so soon? Where's your daughter? Didn't she come back with you?"
Huo's mother: "..."
That's really bringing up the very thing you shouldn't have said.
She was already in a bad mood, and being asked this question made her face even uglier.
Unfortunately, my neighbor was being sarcastic today and continued to ask, "I saw you go to find her with such confidence, I thought you had a way to get her back. After all, you've raised her for so long, she should at least have some filial piety towards you, right?"
"Aunt Huo, I'm really curious, what exactly happened between you? Tell me, I really want to hear it."
Huo's mother: "..."
She didn't say anything, and simply closed the door.
Aunt Zhao, who had come to watch the play, said in a good mood, "Come, come, if you're curious, why don't you ask me? I listened to the whole thing, and it was really amazing."
The neighbor took out a handful of sunflower seeds from inside the house and handed them to her: "Then tell me quickly, if I had known, I should have gone to see the play, but I was afraid that if they started fighting, I would get caught in the crossfire, so I didn't go."
"Actually, I guessed long ago that Wang Xinran wouldn't come back. When I saw her and Li Chao go to get their marriage certificate, she was clearly doing it voluntarily."
"Yes, let me tell you, the situation was extremely urgent."
Aunt Zhao said with a look of amusement, "When Aunt Huo arrived at the Li family, she demanded that they hand over Wang Xinran. She thought they were hiding Wang Xinran. But it turns out that Wang Xinran had already consummated her marriage with Li Chao, and she even said that she was marrying voluntarily. She even kicked Aunt Huo out."
"Aunt Huo has really lost face this time."
The neighbor didn't laugh at Huo's mother; she just shook her head and said, "Sure enough, you should never adopt a child casually. Children should always be your own. Aunt Huo was so good to Wang Xinran before, never letting her do any chores. But Wang Xinran betrayed Aunt Huo right away."
"Yes, people's hearts are hard to fathom."
...
Inside the military camp.
Huo Chenzhou received a letter, and he frowned as he read it.
When he returned, Shen Zhixia saw the letter in his hand and teased, "Who sent you this letter? It's not some little lover, is it?"
Huo Chenzhou said with a serious expression, "Don't talk nonsense."
He doesn't have any mistress.
No, even if he has a mistress, it's only Shen Zhixia.
Shen Zhixia muttered, "I was just saying, why are you being so fierce?"
"I……"
Before Huo Chenzhou could finish speaking, Shen Zhixia was drawn to the letter again: "Whose letter is this? I want to see it."
Huo Chenzhou gave her the letter.
Seeing that Shen Zhixia had opened the letter, he said, "It's a letter from Mom. She said that Huo Xinran is gone. She has recognized her biological parents and changed her name to Wang Xinran."
This is a letter that Huo's mother sent before. At that time, Wang Xinran had not yet married Li Chao, so Huo's mother only mentioned that Wang Xinran had left the Huo family.
Shen Zhixia frowned and said, "That's too much. The Huo family raised her, shouldn't she repay them? How could she just leave like that?"
No one with a conscience would do such a thing, but Wang Xinran is clearly a heartless person who doesn't care about Huo's mother's thoughts at all.
But what she did was purely immoral, not illegal, and it was her decision, so no one can criticize her.
Huo Chenzhou remained silent, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
Shen Zhixia had finished reading the letter and said speechlessly, "I understand now. Is Wang Xinran an ingrate? You shouldn't have adopted her in the first place. Her biological parents didn't want her. If the Huo family hadn't adopted her, she probably wouldn't have lived for long. But she's so good. Just because she complained that Huo's mother didn't introduce her to any blind dates in the military camp, she left the Huo family."
She asked curiously, "What's the purpose of Mom writing this letter? Is it to ask you to invite Wang Xinran back? But she's changed her name now!"
Mrs. Huo simply recounted the incident without stating her own needs.
Huo Chenzhou shook his head: "No, she just wanted to tell me about this. Since Wang Xinran is gone, let her go. Don't worry about her."
Shen Zhixia nodded.
That's what she thought too. Anyway, Wang Xinran wasn't a good person. Even if she were to be taken back, there would be no benefit. What if she made a scene and wanted to leave again sometime over some trivial matter? Then Huo's mother would feel pain again.
Thinking about it this way, it's a good thing that she left. This incident will allow Huo's mother to see her true colors and reduce her suffering in the future.
Shen Zhixia said, "If Mom feels bored living alone, we can have her come over."
Huo Chenzhou's father died early, and Huo's mother raised them all. Before, Huo's mother lived with Wang Xinran, and the two of them took care of each other, but now Huo's mother is all alone.
Huo's mother wasn't the kind of mother-in-law who was difficult to get along with, so Shen Zhixia was quite willing for her to come and stay, and she could also help her look after the children.
Shen Zhixia glanced at the children sleeping soundly on the bed. These two children were not angel babies and were difficult to take care of. Fortunately, someone was helping, otherwise, she would have been exhausted if she had to take care of them all by herself.
Huo Chenzhou nodded: "I'll write her a reply. Also, I'll see if there's any follow-up to this matter. I have a feeling that Wang Xinran's case isn't so simple."
Shen Zhixia's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Okay, if there's any follow-up, be sure to tell me."
People love gossip, and although Wang Xinran's actions were unethical, Shen Zhixia felt that her return to the Wang family at this time was not a good thing.
The Wang family abandoned her before, so how could they possibly treat her well? Wang Xinran was lost in thought.
